Description of the problem | My steering wheel locked up while i was driving on a main road with me and my 7 year old in the car. I was guided to the side by the police and had to have vehicle towed to dealer. The dealer informed me that the rack and pinion has failed and i will have to pay $1800 for repairs. After researching, ive found that this is a common problem with this vehicle. *js |
